New publication "What Intelligence and Genius Actually Are" in the Taj Mahal Review: An International Literary Journal.
For those interested in the big questions such as what is life, this brief essay gives straight answers on the characteristics of life that AI can never have. For this moment I take off my academic hat and speak from direct experience. What intelligence and genius actually are is completely different from what is usually discussed, but this explanation should make perfect sense. I received personal guidance from Alan Watts, who helped transmit Zen Buddhism to the West without contradicting science. This essay fits in his lineage and is my utmost legacy of intuitive insights.

Been having something of a Spike Lee film festival this past week. Catching up on some of his older catalog (Malcolm X, School Daze) and also watched BlacKkKlansman. All really good stuff.

Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.

Kanye West song Power via YouTube full version from the album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). Song relates to a period where Kanye had recently spectacularly interrupted Taylor Swift and as a result been savagely parodied. The Genius.Com discussion for this song provides a snapshot of this period in pop-culture.
